CORRECT ANSWERS
:Self-examination of one's own prejudices and biases toward other cultures. An in-depth exploration of
one's own cultural/ethnic background. - answer ✔✔-Cultural Awareness
Care is designed for the specific client.
Care is based on the uniqueness of the person's culture and includes cultural norms and values.
Care includes self-employment strategies to facilitate client decision making to improve health
behaviors.
Care is provided with sensitivity and is based on the cultural uniqueness of clients. - answer ✔✔-Cultural
competence in nursing consists of four principles.
What do you call your problem?
What do you think caused your problem?
Why do you think it started when it did?
What does your sickness do to you?
What do you fear most about your sickness?
What are the chief problems your sickness has caused you?
What kind of treatment do you think you should receive?
What is the most important result you hope to receive from the treatment? - answer ✔✔-The APN may
also use the Kleinman Explanatory Model of Illness (1978). Below are the questions that can be utilized.
communication (verbal and nonverbal);
personal space;
social organization;
time perception;
,environmental control; and
biological variations. - answer ✔✔-According to Giger and Davidhizer (2000), although cultures differ,
they all have the same basic organizing factors that must be assessed in order to provide care for
culturally diverse patients. These factors include
Web-based technical assistance, (2) knowledge development and dissemination, (3) supporting a
community of learners, and (4) collaboration and partnerships with diverse groups. - answer ✔✔-The
NCCC uses four major approaches to fulfill its mission, including
host, agent, environment - answer ✔✔-Epidemiological Triad:
The study of individual genes and their impact on relatively rare single gene disorders - answer ✔✔-
Genetics
is the probability of an event, such as illness, injury, or death. Gives no indication of how its magnitude
compares with others - answer ✔✔-Absolute risk
closely approximates the relative risk if the disease is rare. - answer ✔✔-The odds ratio
to assess the strength of association between risk factor and outcome. - answer ✔✔-Odds ratio and the
relative risk are used
is used to make risk-based decisions for individuals. - answer ✔✔-How is Attributible risk used
are used to form public health decisions - answer ✔✔-Population-attributable risk measures
Evaluation of Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention - answer ✔✔-EGAPP:
Genomic Applications in Practice and Prevention Network (established in 2009) is a collaborative
initiative involving partners from across the public health sector working together to realize the promise
of genomics in health care and disease prevention. - answer ✔✔-GAPPNet
, Genetics Early Disease Detection Intervention project (GEDDI) (established in 2009) developed a model
strategy for using clinical, genetic, and family history information to reduce the risk of disease, death,
and disability in affected individuals, family members, and populations. - answer ✔✔-GEDDI
Human Genome Epidemiology Network (HuGENet) (established in 1998) helps translate genetic
research findings into opportunities for preventive medicines and public health by advancing the
synthesis, interpretation, and dissemination of population-based data on human genetic variation in
health and disease. HuGENet reviews are systematic, peer-reviewed synopses of the epidemiologic
aspects of human genes, including prevalence of allelic variants in different populations, population-
based information on disease risk, evidence for gene-environment interaction and quantitative data on
genetic tests and services carried out according to specific guidelines. - answer ✔✔-HuGENet
DC's Office of Public Health Genomics (established in 2002) formed a multidisciplinary working group
with members from across CDC. It developed a proposal to measure the prevalence of selected genetic
variants of public health significance in a representative sample of the U.S. population and to examine
the association between the selected genetic variants and disease outcomes available in NHANES III
data. - answer ✔✔-NHANES III
as a global epidemic that spreads to more than one continent (WHO, 2009). One of the more recent
pandemics that you might be familiar with is the H1N1 influenza outbreak of 2009. - answer ✔✔-The
World Health Organization defines a pandemic
the occurrence of disease within persons in excess of what would normally be expected in a clearly
defined community, location, or time of year. An outbreak may only last for a matter of days or weeks,
but may last for years - answer ✔✔-Outbreak
the separation and restriction of the movement of people who were or are exposed to a contagious
disease for a set period of time, to see whether they become ill - answer ✔✔-Quarantine
is a term describing the changes that occur within virus's ribonucleic acid that changes the virus.
Typically, these changes create seasonal changes or new strains of a virus - answer ✔✔-Antigenic drift
Phase 1—None of the current viruses circulating in animals have been reported to cause infection in
humans.
Phase 2—An animal-based influenza virus is known to have caused infection in humans and is
considered a potential pandemic threat.
